´´Good evening....good evening, Albany....how are the Albanians?

´´Alright!....good evening, Albany! (crowd cheers) we´re so glad to be here in your beautiful city tonight....this is called ´Livin´ In The Future´....but it´s about what´s happening now.... about how along with all the things that we love about America and the places we come from, our homes....we´ve had to add to the American picture over the past six years things like rendition and illegal wiratapping and the rolling-back of civil liberties and no Habeas Corpus and the right to defend yourself....against charges in court....because of the color of your skin or your circumstance or your religion, you may feel that these things don´t have a large impact on your life but they´re all, they´re an attack on our Constitution which means they´re an attack on our selves as Americans....and the things we hold dear and have pride in, this is a song about sleeping through things that shouldn´t have happened here but have happened here....but the E Street Band has rode into town tonight to do something about it ....we´re gonna sing about it....´cause we´re musicians....and uh....and that´s a start and I guess the rest is up to all of us so....´´
